U Tube

The woke/anti-2nd Amendment crowd is trying to intimidate our friend Mike Beliveau, also known as "duelist1954", and permanently ban all his instructive youtube videos. As we all know, they tried to ban Hickok45 a while back. YouTube will cave to the woke/anti-2nd Amendment crowd, unless we the People raise cane with them. This is all in response to some things Mike stated on facebook, and has nothing to do with YouTube, yet YouTube has already banned two of his instructional videos, and Mike may be permanently banned from YouTube. 

One of the videos that was banned was his instructional video on how to make paper cartridges for a percussion Sharps, and the other one was on tools for cap and ball revolvers. 

If Mike gets two more videos banned, then he will be off YouTube. 

I personally think this is stupid, and reflects directly back on YouTube, and it's so called "leadership". All of Mike's videos are about historical firearms, and never about "bump stocks", and "triggers", or any so called "illegal" stuff. If you have ever seen his videos, they are very entertaining, and instructional. 

Mike has over 99,000 subscribers to his YouTube channel, and those of us in this sport need to support him, and protest this injustice, to YouTube. 

I am just warning all of you that someone(s) is trying to censor Mike because someone(s) on facebook decided to try and silence and ban Mike from the media because of their sick agenda, and youtube may be spinless enough to cave on this. 

Let it not be said you were not warned of this. I just did. 

 

Just sayin'

Part of the problem with these sites is that you get what you pay for.

 

If you are expecting to utilize a free service for anything you want, or even to monetize your time on it,

then you have to deal with their rules.  Unless and until they are taken over by the Government and

turned into a public asset (do we want to go down that road?) they can do what they want.

 

It is fairly easy to create a web page and host your own videos, and provide links to folks on social media.

Likewise Rumble and Me-We allow posting of this informative material without censorship.

We know Facebook and YouTube are what they are - and you are the product.  That's why you get it for free.

The best way to deal with them is to seek out alternative venues, and leave these to the folks who

still haunt them.

 

Doesn't mean you can't keep a small footprint on them, just use it to post that you have a new video or

an interesting article or a new photo album . . . on some other site!

 

It's like the Scorpion said - you knew what I was when you let me climb on . . . .

Oh, they don’t call themselves that, but that’s what they are. 

I think they’re worse than that.

There are a lot of conservative podcasters that have had issues with YouTube temp bans.  One, Dan Bongino invested in Rumble.  Then dared YouTube to ban him.  They did.  He took all his followers to Rumble.  Another podcaster, Steven Crowder, simulcasts the 1st hr. on both platforms.  His 2nd & 3hr podcast requires a subscription to view.  I follow Ian McCollum's Forgotten Weapons on Patreon.  I like his videos so I support him with $3 per month to get his videos before it's free to view.

My understanding is Mike is uploading all his content on Rumble. Personally I will just watch all his videos there. Support the platform that supports free speech. Rumble just needs some time to be able to catch up to YouTube. It’s not just gun tubers getting slammed, it’s pretty much anything that goes against the woke agenda. Just say the wrong word or phrase will get you put on the list. YouTube has allot of great content, but it’s all due to the people providing it. Hopefully more content providers look at ways their views can’t be suppressed.

You-tube needs to know that a bunch of us are upset over their policies, even though we should be able to watch Miks's videos on another platform. They need to understand that the people, that make the decisions, will pay the price of losing their audience, and thus, the sponsors will potentially lose some business. Mike as over 99,000 subscribers, so perhaps if more than me contact them, instead of rolling over, and making excuses, then perhaps it will get their attention. Mike made some comments on another forum, and someone objected, and sent a complaint to You-tube. As usual, for these type medias, such as You-tube, "tweeter", face-bookie, etc., they are run by people that are afraid, and have no courage to stand up to the "woke"/socialist crowd, and they seem put their interests first, over the rest of the folks. 

 

Yep, You-tube has "rules". But...rules (and law), are words, words have to have exact meaning. When the rules, and when law, does not have exact meaning, then the courts will throw them out. In this case, the "court" of public opinion says if anyone makes a statement, on another site, then only that site has a right to examine if their "rules" have been broken. 

Yes, it is their company, and their "rules", and that is what you sign up for. But...if no "rules" were broken, or discovered in the past, on your site, then how come he is being punished now, because of some woke creatin objecting to something that was said on another format? 

The main problem is the management of You-tube, and their arbitrary interpretation of the "rules", and their lack of a backbone. Like as not, the "powers-that-be", at You-tube, don't know a firearm from a hot rock.

It doesn't bother me that YouTube has rules. It bothers me that they enforce them like a bunch of woke little emperors who haven't had their sugar this morning. If anyone with a brain investigated the "complaints" against Mike they'd see that he wasn't doing anything wrong.

Most of the banned people haven’t actually broke any rules. Certain people just don’t like what they represent, the way they think or their values. You don’t need to look any further than allot of the content they don’t pull down that actually does violate their policies.

I have two channels on YouTube.  One for Owl Creek Raiders and one for myself.  My channel has just personal home movie stuff of only interest to me.  I once got notified that one of my old videos was in violation of standards. I was several years old and marked "unlisted", meaning only I could see it.  It was 15 seconds of nothing important.  I had named it XXX.   I renamed it and never heard anymore about it. 

 

I have put up videos with music that was copyright protected and had to change to something public domain.

How about a link to do just that?
